To install Turbo C on Windows 7 32bit :

As I`ve posted an article about installing Turbo C on Windows 7 32bit.So you can get this issue resolved here.

To install Turbo C on Windows 7 64bit :

Many of my friends having Windows 7 64bit, are using Virtual Window installing softwares to run Turbo C by using Windows XP.But here`s the simple solution for this.This problem can be resolved using a mere 1.38MB software named DOSBox thus saving your lot of pc hardware and software utilization. So inorder to get things work we need to follow these steps :

Thanks for your feedback friend, actually you`ve downloaded the previous versions of DOSBox, this tutorial only works for DOSBox version 0.74, so please download that only, and I`ve updated the download link too, so now you can go ahead with this tutorial.Sorry for the inconvenience. Please download it again using the same link and follow the tutorial.

THNKS A LOT, AMIT SIR, MY TURBO C IS WORKING BUT IN ORDER TO AVOID INITIAL STEPS TO OPEN TURBO C, I HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR DIRECTIONS AND TYPED THE SAME CODE IN THE NOTEPAD IN 0.74 OPTIONS BUT TURBO C DOESN'T OPENS DIRECTLY WHEN I CLICK ON DOS BOX...PLS HLP ME....

Hi Kanishka, To get into Full Screen mode, press Alt+Enter, but never faced any situation where I cannot edit the content. I would recommend you to re-install Turbo C using DOSBox. If again there`s any problem, then do let me know.

Naveen you don`t have to type the "[autoexec] and all", you have to start from heremount d c:\TC\dTC.exemake sure the TC in the first line and the last line are same which you have used while installation process.

ya i did not use d keyboard shortcuts at first..But evn wid the compile & run on the screen it does not run..There are no errors while compiling and wen i click on run,thr is just a flash n d editor screen returns..!

Ok, Do check your Directories Settings, which can accessed by Moving to Options>>Directories in Turbo C editor. Make sure that they are set to D:\ or the virtual drive you have used while installation process. Or try re-installing the same.

Could not find a fix for that.. Installed it several times and many ways.. checked the directories too..! I think dts d 1st of its case.. if u find any solution post it.. i ll keep following d blog..!!thnx 4 ur help!

hi sir.thanks a lot.after reading your blog its a great help.i was sucessful in intalling dosbox. when i compile a program there are no errors in compilation but when i run, an error has occured "UNABLE TO OPEN COS.OBJ" file.pls help me.and i am not getting how to open c next time shortcut though i have edited notepad by writing mount lines.wat to do?? U tld naveen to write same code in notepad again which we wrote while installing c.do i have to write that at the end of that notepad after writing those mount lines??next time when i have to open c where should i go??reply soon.

For error "UNABLE TO OPEN COS.OBJ", open Turbo C editor, Go To Options>Directories>Change Directories>> Set Directories to D:\For another error,Yes you have to write those mount lines in the notepad file at the end. After writing those mount lines, click on the DOSBox icon to open Turbo C Editor directly.

Haritha, there can be many reasons for that, you might be providing different name(for example, actual file name is TC and you might be providing some other different name say Turbo C), so to avoid that provide the exact name of the file.Secondly, May be the Turbo C doesn`t exist on your system. So first download if this is the situation. Then try the above process of installation.

thank you sir. im unable to view full screen. when i press alt+ enter, i got full screen with normal window in the center. And the screen get struck, so unable to edit. please help.. thanks in advance. madhu visakhapatnam.

Hi Mr amit. i am also facing the issue of not seeing the output. program compiles without errors, but when i go to window>output , it doesn't show the output of program .. the dosbox command prompt is shown there.. even if i include clrscr. those commands are always displayed.
